Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 928 - 926: Stealing Qi Fortune, Shrouding the Heavens and Sun! (Second Update)
When He Tu was about to ask more, blood had already started seeping from the corner of Yun Ran’s mouth. This was the price she paid for revealing a Heavenly Secret.
The Ginsengfruit sitting beside her turned pale with fright. He knew all too well the miserable state his Host would be in after a backlash from the Heavenly Dao.
He immediately reached into his bag to take out a bottle of medicine, intending to hand it to Yun Ran, but Yun Ran waved it off.
"No need, it’s just a small injury!"
When Yun Ran spoke the incomplete Heavenly Dao, she was already prepared for this.
She just didn’t expect that this backlash would be so mild this time.
The reason she took this risk was simply to verify one of her suspicions.
Sure enough, her suspicion was correct.
After forming a contract with Xie Xuzhi, revealing Heavenly Secrets resulted in just a trickle of blood.
In the past, she would’ve been vomiting mouthfuls of blood and passing out!
She chose to speak in front of He Tu because she was confident that with Gu Yuan and Wanqi Yu present, even if she fell unconscious from severe injury, nothing would happen to her.
It’s safe to say Yun Ran opened her mouth after she was well-prepared.
"You... you revealed a Heavenly Secret and got backlash?"
He Tu looked at the blood on Yun Ran’s lips, utterly shocked, to the point of having his beliefs shaken.
But looking at the blood, he felt puzzled. A backlash from revealing a Heavenly Secret shouldn’t be so slight.
Yun Ran didn’t answer He Tu’s question and continued, "The Black Robed People have been so stable all these years because they found a way to conceal Heavenly Secrets.
I think this method was probably obtained from the Heavenly Book hidden in this Five Emperors Mountain.
I’ve done several experiments before, and now, I can roughly guess what methods those Black Robed People used."
Now, not just He Tu, even Gu Yuan’s breathing became tense.
The only one not surprised was probably Wanqi Yu, who had a far greater understanding of the Black Robed People.
If it weren’t for the Black Robed People’s numerous heaven-defying means, they wouldn’t have been suppressed with such heavy casualties.
They later went into hiding just to recuperate, only being able to do things covertly.
He Tu asked nervously, "What method?"
"Stealing Qi Fortune, obscuring the sky!"
Yun Ran, or rather the original host, was one of the victims of this.
For the Black Robed People to get away with it for so many years, there must have been numerous people with excellent Qi Fortune suddenly dying in the past few centuries.
Among the Black Robed People, many are widely renowned masters, helping many people by solving problems and clearing away Evil Spirits.
But who knows how many of them manipulated things without anyone knowing.
Gu Yuan knew that Yun Ran’s Life Chart and other aspects had been stolen, which is why they’d witnessed Yun Ran’s ridiculously unlucky incidents multiple times before.
They thought those Evil Cultivators had stolen it to do bad things or replaced it with someone else’s.
Now it seems there’s likely a lot they don’t know about what’s going on.
Gu Yuan lost his appetite.
"I’m going to make a call!"
He wanted someone to tally up just how many people were suddenly and unexpectedly killed or suffered misfortune.
After Gu Yuan left, Wanqi Yu looked at Yun Ran with an expression full of heartache.
They had never really interacted with Yun Ran, so they were unaware of her unique Life Chart. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
Lately, his foster father even had people secretly investigating who exactly laid a hand on Yun Ran.
Once they found the culprit, they would surely face a fate worse than death, with no hope of reincarnation.
He Tu’s mind was also in turmoil, but he wasn’t part of the Special Administration Bureau and wasn’t too concerned about others’ fates.
Suddenly, He Tu slapped his thigh, startling the Ginsengfruit beside him.
"So there’s actually such a heaven-defying method! What a loss!"
He Tu was genuinely frustrated; he had dealt with many who were talented and had good Qi Fortune, but he never maximized the use of their Fortune.
Such a waste indeed.
Yun Ran: ...
The morally ambiguous He Tu was always ready to do mischief!
If Yun Ran weren’t suppressing him, who knows how unruly He Tu would become?
"I also have some matters to attend to. I’ll skip this meal and catch up with you another day!"
With that, He Tu quickly grabbed a chicken leg and left in a flash.
Wanqi Yu also took out his phone, "Ranran, I need to make a quick call too, I’ll be back soon."
At the dining table, only Yun Ran and the Ginsengfruit were left.
The Ginsengfruit looked worryingly at Yun Ran, "Host, are you really alright? You got backlash and all..."
Yun Ran shook her head, "Nothing serious, not as bad as when the Dragon Spirit swiped at me."
After wiping the blood clean, Yun Ran resumed eating.
Once this meal was over, she would be busy again, who knows when she’d enjoy such a rich feast again.
Yun Ran was halfway through her meal when Gu Yuan returned.
Seeing only Yun Ran and the Ginsengfruit left in the room, he curiously asked, "Where’s He Tu?"
"Who knows, probably went somewhere to lament."
Gu Yuan stopped asking and started eating himself; it had been a while since he’d had a proper meal.
It seems He Tu really missed out on this treat.
After a hearty meal, Gu Yuan took Yun Ran to her resting place, while he hurried back to work.
By investigating those who suffered sudden misfortunes or inexplicable bad luck, they might indirectly find out which Xuan Sect people those victims had come into contact with.
Even if they can’t be 100% certain about every Xuan Sect person near those people, it would at least be a chance to identify the Black Robed People’s informants.
Before, the Black Robed People only had brief encounters with the Special Administration Bureau, so they didn’t have complete data and information.
But Wanqi Yu was smart, immediately duplicating most of the Black Robed People information they had and giving it to Gu Yuan.
That night, Yun Ran slept well.
But she didn’t know how many people couldn’t sleep and even fled overnight after Gu Yuan and Wanqi Yu made their calls.
"Host, Xuan Chu and the others are here."
Yun Ran glanced at her phone; it was still quite early. Xuan Chu and his group came so early?
After a simple wash-up, Yun Ran went to the living room and saw Xuan Chu waiting.
In less than a month, Xuan Chu’s aura had undergone tremendous changes.
At that moment, Yun Ran felt that Xuan Chu had a lot more life experience.
